What if the Leviathans made a copy of Castiel just before the explosion?
- The Leviathans plan to use him later
- They know that he is important to all sides
- He’s with the Winchesters - Of course
- He is a traitor to most of Heaven and taking him out would be a feather in the cap of WHOEVER is in charge there now - Terrible pun intended
- Naturally, he and Crowley are not on the best of terms (Or are they)
- He is the perfect poster boy for world domination - Hello Misha!
- By keeping him alive, but restrained (In a non=pron way) they are keeping him out of the game
- As stated before he is important to all sides
- He has been specifically brought back like three times now. Many other angels were not even brought back once.
Other possibilities:
- The Leviathans made a copy and the real Cas was left unconscious and seriously injured - maybe human - by the lake - It could possibly have been an unintended move:
- Crowley finds him and nurses him back to health (I’m really partial to this one, but I don’t think it will ever happen *Demands Fanfic*)
- They’re a team. Damn it! UST FOR ALL!
- Crowley understands that the Big Bads inside of Cas made him go off the rails
- It would be a lovely “Frak you” to Dick
- *Swoon* Sorry, that was just my reaction to this possibility
- He is human - or an angel -and has amnesia
- The writers messed everything up so bad with Sam that you know they want another crack at it
- We could see the accidental discovery of grace and that could be epic
- We see that no matter what happens, he and Dean still have a profound bond
- He’s gone - Maybe in the ether or maybe gone-gone (Stay with me)
- They use the grace that is stored in the handprint on Dean’s arm to bring him back (I will explode)
- We see a meeting between Cas and God - Where he makes the case for humanity and not himself. Then he is brought back to save those he loves, because he has proven himself virtuous and worthy *sobs*
Sorry, this just popped in my head this morning and would not leave me alone.
